Nearly did it

[FarFarAway]

I nearly sold my 360

I should sell it, even though it's nearly brand new (refreshed it for an HDMI one not long ago). I was all set to do it, thern I realised I'd miss allmy arcade games

Here's my pro/con list of owning it

Pro's

+ Arcade games

+ Gears of War/Gears 2

+ Selling it seems like losing a lot of money

+ Possible future 360 exclusives

Cons

- Waste of money sitting there

- Don't really use it

- Have PS3, will travel

- Takes up space

Kemps... my dear friend.

This is the arguement I have with my parents all the time! Why let it stay in your house, when all you use it for is arcade games? Sure, they are fun.. but it is a waste of so much money to be sitting there and doing nothing for you. The longer you wait, the more it is going to devalue and the more you're going to loose on it. Get rid of it as soon as you can so that you minimize your losses.

That is my point of view, hope that helps

No it's a Premium with an HDMI output on it

 

[ionicle]

how much are you asking for it?

what comes with it, games etc?

condition?

games?

warrenty?

my opinion, wait till gears of war 2 comes out (since it was a complete FLOP on pc) give that a bash, if it's no good and ya not happy, sell it as a bundle with Gears of war 2, may sell better?

personally if it has a use, keep it *shrug* same as a sandwich toaster, great when u get it, quiet for a while but you'll pick it up one day and love it again...

if you get rid of it you'll miss it

Hi mate.

Really intrested in this, what comes with it?

 

[FarFarAway]

It's a Premium 20gb, bought on 03-05-08 (so still in Argos and MS warranty) and would come with:

2 wireless controllers

2 battery pack for plug and charge and 1 wire (official)

Official HDMI AV cable

Official Xbox 360 AV remote

Wireless internet dongle

Gears of War

Fifa Street 3

Condition is perfect and frankly it has hardly been used. All boxes etc I still have and are in perfect condition as well.

Not sure on price tbh £275 or something nearish I spose with all those extras. If I won't get near that I simply won't sell it.

No thanks.

Can get an Elite and any 3 games of my choice for £300 from gamestation.

Thanks anyway.

Yeah sure but not a wireless networking add-on and 2 wireless controllers. I'm willing to negotiate a bit, but not knocking off loads tbh

I reckon that should go for £200 - £230 Kemps, keep trying, I am sure someone will be willing to take it off of you soon.

If not, consider dropping your price a bit

Meh I'll just stick it on eBay

Good idea, I was going to suggest that though I thought you wouldn't want to do that, thought a trade imperson was more your thing (don't ask why because I don't know! LOL)
